In regard to the verse, which is revealed in tile Qur’an
that His highness, Christ, was not killed and was not crucified, by this is
meant the Reality of Christ. Although they crucified this elemental body, yet
the merciful reality and the heavenly existence remain eternal and undying, and
it was protected from the obsession and persecution of the enemies, for Christ
is Eternal and Everlasting. How can He die? This death and crucifixion was
imposed on the physical body of Christ, and not upon the Spilt of Christ.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet to Thornton Chase; Star of the West, vol. 2, nos.
7 & 8, August 1, 1911)
